I dont think something like this should of been implmented (Id be interested to knwo what the balance team thought proces was doing at the time...), its basically inviting players to get effortless wins. and throwing all last hopes of this game ever being about strategy agian....

If they wanna fix there mistakes they shouldnt go about making it weaker, what needs to happen is counters.

There need to be counters for effortless Power Abusers, now that they took away sheilding they should go out of there way to find a replacement.

@ Gangster, The solution should never be they are beatable if you spam defences.... There needs to be counters flexiable to most builds and ALL classes.

Just because it then beccomes based around luck JUST means people will complain here MORE about luck.

I also hate it how people seem to think that having high dex and expecting blocks is counted as a counter for STR builds ITS NOT BECAUSE its TOTALLY UNRELIABLE! For counter to be effective and for the game to get out of its hole the impact of luck needs to be lowered and LUCK should NEVER be the answer to problems. But how about take away the attack side!! Aussult doesnt have an attack while it reduces its effects, WHY should azreal be able to attack gain rage while making the opponeents turn to sheild just as bad as getting stunned. @ Drinde, I agree to that idea, Azreal borg needs to be changed so that instead of it shrinking the buff it just takes away 80% of the effectiveness, This means the effect would be EXACTLY the same excpet instead of a sheild going from being +20 to +5 it instead goes to, (+20) (-15) The exact same defence except now the aussult bot can shrink the azreal effect. Good way to counter but there are also many other ways.

Is when you reduce the players sheild, you also lose that much health calculated by how much defence is reduced.

SO the person WITH azreal bot loses the health for using the buff reducing special.

@ Pivitol,

The main reason why I havnt completely raged about this bot is because its 1 time only like the yeti, Alot of times I try to boost through there huge attacks and sheild for the second time when I can but then I have a MASSIVE catch up not to metnion the fact they usally get 2-3 rages before I get one.....

If anything the yeti should be changed, The yeti has barely no use, I think it should be changed to unblcokable like azreal AND normal attack damage like azreal.

How is it they were concerned so much of the yeti being oped so much so its practically useless yet when its something to HLEP the anoying powerbuilds :D lets make it unblockable and at full power e.e Then the yeti could actuly serve as a use for perhaps being a possible gun counter for powerbuilds.
